Information Introduction World Cup Park was built to commemorate the 17th FIFA World Cup, held in Korea
Opened May 1st, 2002, the park was once a 15-year-old landfill that held over 92 million tons of garbage
It took 6 years to stabilize the waste (measures were taken to prevent the garbage runoff from contaminating the environment) and an additional year to build the actual park itself
The park is located near Seoul World Cup Stadium, and is made up of five smaller parks including Pyeonghwa 'Peace' Park, Haneul 'Sky' Park, and Noeul 'Sunset' Park
The park takes up a 1
05 million-pyeong area and is usually crowded with in-line skaters
* Pyeonghwa Park: Closest to Seoul World Cup Stadium, it holds a pond, garden, children’s playground, and forest
It is often used as a picnic area and place for nature studies
* Nanjicheon Park: Nanjicheon Park was developed from the Nanji Stream, which flowed under Haneul Park
It was once overflowing with sewage runoff from the nearby landfill, but it has since been beautifully restored into a park with clear water
It contains an outdoor stage and various sports facilities
* Nanji Hangang Park: Nanji Hangang Park was developed on the banks of the Hangang River
It contains a campground, soccer field, basketball court, grass field, cruise ship port, and an area for nature studies
* Haneul Park : Of the 5 World Cup Parks, Haneul Park is at the highest elevation
Once a mountain of garbage, it is now a green hill with 22 lookout points offering breathtaking views of Seoul, Namsan, Bukhansan, and Gwanaksan Mountains
5 wind-powered generators provide power to the park and the park’s maintenance office
During the Seoul Eulalia Festival, the park is open until late in the evening * Noeul Park: Noeul Park contains a 9-hole golf course and takes up a vast area of land that was once a landfill
The park was constructed as a grassland because too much development may have caused damage to the environment, due to the buried waste
It offers a scenic view of the Hangang River and its beautiful sunset
